Changsun Wuji then heard that it was raining today and the sky was dark. He thought it was still early, but it was already chen hour. His expression changed drastically and he shouted: "Send someone quickly to chase Erlang back!"
The steward was startled and did not dare to ask. He quickly responded and ran out in a hurry.
Suddenly there was a clutter of footsteps and people's voices in the yard...
Changsun Wuji sat on the couch and felt that his clothes were soaked with cold sweat. He thought about the matter carefully and couldn't help but slap the couch hard and cursed: "It's really treacherous!"
I had previously admired Fang Jun for being loyal and patriotic without any hesitation, but now I felt that that boy was so treacherous, shameless and vicious that he actually hid such a vicious hand!
No wonder I always feel like something is wrong. It turns out that this is the problem! That kid has never been one to suffer losses. Although he suffered a big loss this time but gained the emperor's appreciation, he still refused to accept it and wanted to give him Changsun Wuji a powerful blow to drain him of his salary!
After thinking about it, the more he thought about it, the more he felt unable to sit still. Changsun Wuji simply jumped off the couch, endured the splitting headache, called someone to come over and simply changed his clothes, ordered someone to hitch the car and take it with him. Several generals got on the carriage and hurried to Zongzheng Temple.
He could hardly imagine how angry those Guanlong nobles would be when they saw Changsun Huan appearing in front of Zongzheng Temple instead of leaving the city.
We have been on the same page for hundreds of years, advancing and retreating, living and dying together, but you tricked all our children into dying in order to transfer the conflict and hatred to Fang Jun, while you yourself allowed your son to stay in Chang'an. Send him to Zongzheng Temple to surrender and save his life?
This is the most shameless betrayal.
Sitting in the carriage, with drizzle falling outside, Changsun Wuji had a splitting headache and regretted it.
How could I be so careless and assume that Fang Jun was so simple that he would definitely kill him? Not only was he careless, he also made many foolish moves. If he wanted to save Changsun Huan's life, he could have sent him out of the city in another way. With the power of the Changsun family, it was easy to avoid Fang Jun's eyes and ears, but he wanted to The wise man asked Changsun Huan to go to Zongzheng Temple to surrender.
If things really develop as suspected, all the Guanlong disciples will be killed by Fang Jun, leaving Changsun Huan alone to escape with his life. There may even be a witness to accuse Fang Jun of violence. Kill, but now no one has died...
Changsun Huan's behavior was too abrupt.
This kind of betrayal is unbearable. If the eldest grandson's family is still as prominent as before, and his eldest grandson Wuji is still the head of hundreds of officials, your Majesty's humerus, and the number one meritorious official in the world, then the Guanlong nobles may Nose to recognize this.
However, the current situation is that he has lost the favor of the emperor, and the power of the Changsun family is not as dominant as before in Guanlong. There has even been a gradual trend of division within Guanlong. Many families, including the Linghu family, have The core of the Long Group has already become disloyal. If something like this happens again...
Changsun Wuji raised his eyes and glanced at the gentle breeze and drizzle outside the car curtain, but his heart felt as cold as the twelfth lunar month in winter.
Could it be that the Guanlong aristocratic group, which has dominated the world for hundreds of years, will fall apart in his own hands, become a vassal of the imperial power, and never regain its former glory?
*****
In the drizzle, a hint of fish belly white appeared in the east. The bluestone slabs in front of the Zongzheng Temple Yamen were washed clean by the rain, and there were few pedestrians on the quiet streets.
On the contrary, at a corner not far from Zongzheng Temple, a luxuriously decorated four-wheeled carriage was parked there, with more than ten powerful guards standing on horses around it, standing tall in the wind and rain despite the rain washing away their coir raincoats and bamboo hats. Without any movement, the carriage was guarded.
In the carriage, the red clay stove was burning brightly, and the flames were licking the bottom of the pot. The mountain spring water in the pot was boiling. Li Junxian lifted it up and poured it into the teapot. The green tea leaves floated and floated with the boiling water, and there was a refreshing smell. The fragrance of tea pours out, blocking out the cold rain and air outside the car curtain.
Putting the kettle on the stove again, Li Junxian took the teapot and made tea for His Majesty Li Er in front of him, then he knelt down by the coffee table with lowered eyebrows and eyes.
His Majesty Li Er waved his hands and said: "There are only you and me here, why are you so reserved? Come on, come on, this is the good tea that Fang Jun and his fellow servants paid tribute to. You can't drink it anytime soon, so you should try it too."
"Here!"
Li Junxian did not dare to disobey his order. After His Majesty Li Er picked up the teacup, put it to his lips and took a sip of tea, he picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup.
After taking a sip, the hot tea went into the throat, and then went down the throat into the abdomen. There was a lingering fragrance between the teeth and cheeks, and there was a warmth in the chest and abdomen.
It would be perfect if there was another plate of snacks. I have not stopped running around all night, and I am already hungry. Now that I have drank tea on an empty stomach, I am afraid I will feel uncomfortable for a long time...
His Majesty Li Er was very comfortable, sitting in the carriage drinking hot tea and listening to the drizzle outside. A cool breeze came in from time to time through the curtains of the carriage, which was quite a bit like the pastoral style of celebrities in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
But it would be even more perfect if the rough man in front of him was replaced by a charming little lady...
Putting down his tea cup, His Majesty Li Er lifted the curtain and took a look outside. There was no one on the long and silent street, except for the slight splash of water droplets after the rain fell to the ground, and then gathered into a gurgling trickle to flow freely on the bluestone pavement.
"By now, the news should have been sent back to everyone, right?"
His Majesty Li Er suddenly asked.
Li Junxian estimated the time, nodded and said: "It should be almost done. The heads of the Guanlong families are probably already discussing countermeasures at this moment. After all, Fang Shaobao spared the lives of the Guanlong disciples, which is really unexpected. It is expected that things will change, and countermeasures must be prepared.”
"If it weren't for that last sentence, as you said, these people would get together to discuss it, but with those words... Haha, I'm afraid no one can trust anyone, and they are suspicious of each other, what else? Do you need to be pretentious and show off? You just need to come to the gate of this Zongzheng Temple early and wait to see if, as Fang Jun said, someone will go against everyone's will and hide the intention of his own disciples to surrender. Leave one life behind, and the truth will naturally come to light."
"Your Majesty's words are reasonable, but they will eventually lead to stupidity."
"Hey! Don't be like those slanderous people who only know how to flatter their superiors!"
"...The person will eventually be convicted of his crime."
After being scolded, Li Junxian felt a little aggrieved and quickly shut up.
You are the emperor, and you have refuted my point of view in such a long speech. In addition to complimenting you for your wisdom and prowess, can I also say "You are wrong"?
There was a brief silence in the carriage.
After drinking another cup of tea, His Majesty Li Er suddenly said: "Guess, will anyone come to Zongzheng Temple as Fang Jun expected? If so, who will it be?"
Li Junxian learned the lesson and said respectfully: "The final general is too stupid to guess."
If you say it, you will make a lot of mistakes. Why not say it?
Unexpectedly, His Majesty Li Er frowned and said displeased: "You are really rough! Fang Jun's move is called 'invite the king into the urn'. Only those who dare to let Guan Long's children die but hide his own children, and are not afraid Isn't it obvious that only those who were blamed by the other Guanlong nobles afterwards would be qualified to enter this 'urn'?"
It seems that his ministers are so "stupid", which makes him extremely dissatisfied.
Li Junxian: "..."
He lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, with a look of shame on his face: trying to figure out the intentions of his superiors and flattering them with flattery. Compared with Fang Jun, his skill in doing so was truly vastly different. It was wrong to say it or not. Why had I never seen His Majesty the Emperor like this? Not easy to serve?
Okay, you are the emperor, whatever you say is what you say...
His Majesty Li Er became more and more displeased when he saw Li Junxian's silence. He snorted and said, "How come I feel dissatisfied after just saying a few words to you?"
Li Junxian: "..."
Mother!
What happened to His Majesty today? Has there ever been a time in the past when he was so picky and made things out of nothing?
Could it be that I took the wrong medicine...
He quickly turned over and knelt down, and said in fear: "I don't dare! Your Majesty is so wise and powerful, how can I keep up with your thoughts? I have always been stupid and slow, and my mind is not clear from time to time, but I am loyal to Your Majesty in my heart. , Never dare to be disrespectful at all..."
"Shut up!"
Before he could finish expressing his loyalty, His Majesty Li Er stopped him coldly.
His Majesty the Emperor opened a gap in the car curtain, stared outside with excitement on his face, and whispered: "Haha, as expected, someone is here! Come on, let's see whose son this is?"
However, Li Junxian did not move, still kneeling there.
Still need to watch?
Who else could be the descendant of the eldest grandson family...
